What I found was very interesting. The shampoo has a limited amount of chemical ingredients (something I don’t usually support) but has been balanced out by the introduction of various essential oils and natural extracts that help to cancel out any of the harmful effects of the chemicals. This means that the shampoo can clean and refresh your hair without drying the hair out like most conventional chemically based shampoos do. Making the shampoo is as easy as mixing all the ingredients in the glass jar and stirring regularly as you add them. I recommend adding the coconut oil and olive oil first, and then the other ingredients whilst stirring. And that’s it! Pretty simple and straightforward. However, it’s important to note that you should store the mixture in a fridge, otherwise it will only last about 2-3 days, and roughly a week in the fridge. You may also apply the conditioner in a small amount after you’ve dried your hair to keep your hair moisturized throughout the day, but I recommend rinsing it out at the end of the day. Your hair should feel lighter and fresher after just the first wash. After a week or two of regular use, you should start to notice that your color tones have become stronger or more noticeable. This is the pearl extract doing it’s thing, increasing the vibrancy of your color. It’s a very effective hair treatment, and one I’d recommend to anyone with light hair tones or highlights. The set is also quite affordable in relation to most commercial natural or herbal shampoos, so you won’t have a huge dent in your wallet after using it. Plus, they’re quite potent when put together, so you won’t need to use a lot with each wash – and should only wash once every two days and condition every day (in my opinion – but that really depends on you and your hair type).

Catwalk by TIGI - Fashionista Purple Shampoo and Conditioner

TIGI is a company that was formed in the new millennium (2003 and to be exact), and so has been built on philosophies and practices that resonate with a modern client and a forward-thinking outlook on the haircare and shampoo market. To conclude, I’m very conscientious about any products that I consume or apply to my skin or hair, and wouldn’t use (let alone recommend) a product that I thought would have any negative effects or reactions to my hair or skin for that matter. Founded under the motto of ‘By Hairstylists, For Hairstylists,’ you can be certain that each and every product that this company produces is held to the highest of standards for use in a professional capacity – which makes them incredibly effective in the domestic environment. So like I said, this approach to DIY shampoo is cost-effective and largely natural, but has its downsides. I’d recommend it for those who are eager to try out something new or who want to go the natural route. But if caring for your hair is a priority for you, I’d say choosing the TIGI range of shampoos and conditioners is the safest bet for the best results. Going natural is something that I would try and convince everyone to do (or at least try) during the course of their lifetimes, but as that isn’t always a viable solution – certain hair types can’t handle the kind of oil levels that natural products often lead to, I recommend choosing a brand that takes sensitive hair types into consideration. TIGI is that brand!And based on what I found out about how they approach the business of hair care and supporting entry-level stylists and hairdressers, they’ve become a real winner in my book. Supporting them as a brand is like strengthening a pillar that helps to hold up an entire industry, and that’s something I can say I respect in a company. As a word of warning though, most natural shampoos can stimulate your scalp’s production of oil over the course of the first three weeks of use, as your hair adjusts to the new treatment. This means that your hair might feel a little bit more oily than it normally does, so I’d recommend rinsing thoroughly after using the shampoo and even following up with an apple cider rinse to help cut through and reduce the sebaceous oil content of your scalp and hair. What you will need: The reason why I would recommend this shampoo over other on-the-shelf chemical shampoos is that it will speak for itself after the first week of using it. The shampoo will enhance your hair’s natural strength and quality and can also regulate your scalp’s production of sebum oil – which will leave your hair feeling less oily, but also won’t dry your hair out completely. In fact, no corners are cut when the creative designers at TIGI set to work on formulating a new shampoo, which means you receive the best possible product, made to industry standards and at roughly the same price as any other herbal or natural shampoo. This makes them a highly competitive brand that is constantly innovating and developing new ways to shake up the market and provide the best possible products for your hair.

Comforting fragrance: the relaxing Oatmeal & Honey professional haircare set from TIGI combines a 750ml nourishing shampoo with a 750ml hair conditioner for dry damaged hair revival If you’re like me, then you’ll probably want to try out a DIY recipe before spending cash on any product that you’re unsure of using for the first time. And that’s okay – great minds think alike! So, I experimented and scoured the internet to find a recipe that has as close an effect to the TIGI Shampoo and Conditioner set as I could and came up with something that works quite well. The meticulous effort that is put into making this shampoo helps to relieve sensitive scalps of any dryness or irritation by penetrating the surface levels of the skin (aided by the various essential oils and extracts contained in the recipe) and stimulating the migration of nutrient-rich blood cells to the scalp and hair follicles, ensuring balanced oil production and stronger, healthier hair overall.

Now, I don’t consider myself a hippy – far from it, and I do wash my hair with shampoo, I’m just very specific about the types of shampoo I choose to use largely because of the effects that most conventional shampoos have on my hair.

Although, I should add at this point that it’s incredibly difficult to replicate the TIGI lines amazing ability to increase hair color vibrancy and balance you hair as well as it does – at least for a commercial hair care product. I guess this goes to prove how meticulous they really are when it comes to developing a new recipe! The recipe I will provide is natural though and is safe for all hair types. It was by pure chance that a friend recommended TIGI’s Catwalk shampoos and conditioners, and I immediately set off to do some research into this brand which I admittedly hadn’t heard much about before. I was happy to find that the shampoo was made specifically for blondes and people with grey to white hair, as I have blonde highlights at the moment and I found that washing with my herbal shampoo reduced their shine.
